Oh, the randomness of a Thursday

The Wii has arrived. I repeat...the Wii has arrived.

Yes indeed, the Wii has made its three day priority mail way to our house, and we now hold it in our hot little hands.

And to add insult to injury, the conscientious eBay seller was kind enough to include the original receipt with it. A receipt that shows he paid about two hundred dollars less for it than we paid him.

Nice.

In other news, I went out Christmas shopping today. And I came home empty handed. Well, that's not entirely true, I came home with things in my hands for me.

I have been eyeing these at Kohl's for some time now.

They are sheets for my bed. And yes, they are a brown zebra print.

But they are sassy, people.

I am not a huge animal print fan. I like an accent here and there. Just to keep up with the trends, 'cause you know I'm nothing if not trendy. And sassy.

I like these towels from the Pottery Barn. But really, what don't I like from the Pottery Barn?

These are some cute towels. Of course, I do not own these towels. Because anything that is described as plush or jacquard woven or as having Turkish cotton in a 600 gram weight, whatever that means, I do not own.

Because my towels have been used by the kids to clean off the slide when it rains. Or by my husband to dry his wave runner. Or lain on the bed so the vomit from a sick kid doesn't get on the sheets. Because good Lord, I have enough laundry to do.

And also, my people seem to be too good to use a mere rag for any of their jacquard woven, combed cotton needs. So that is why I do not own these pretty towels. But I would. I so would buy them if I knew they would not end up drying a freshly washed Yamaha.

So remember, the important lesson here is less is more when it comes to decorating with animal prints.

Think a throw pillow, a towel, something small and you know, accenty.

Not this

Please not that.

Because remember, what goes in style, must go out of style.

Remember the palm tree craze from a few years ago?

It's over.

Moving on, I'm thinking of switching the blog to Wordpress. I'm having blogger issues. With uploading photos. And spacing. You know I need to hit return every 2 or 3 sentences. Apparently, blogger hates this. And is making it kind of a pain for me to space my own blog as I see fit.

The problem is, I have been testing out the Wordpress blogs. And it's a little more complicated than blogger. And even though I have nothing else to do but sit around and test posts on Wordpress, I'm not sure I can get it figured out.

On Monday, December 17, I am participating in Boomama's Christmas Tour of Homes. See the button on my sidebar if you want more info. But basically, after I'm done decorating the house for the holidays, I'll take some photos, hook up with Boo's Mr. Linky, and presto! You all get to come on in for a little tour. I'll even show you my animal print accents. And I'll try not to capture the naked people that live behind me in any of the pictures.

And since I'm inviting you all in, how about inviting me over as well? I know Jul, my friend and fellow Boomama follower is participating, but how about some of you people out there that I know have fantastic houses? I'd love the chance to ooh and ahh over your decorations.

Well, that about covers all of the random thoughts I've got going on for today. Oh, one more thing. In addition to figuring out how to use my sitemeter thingy, which provides some interesting information, I might say, I have now figured out the whole Technorati thing. Because like I mentioned, I really don't have a lot going on which leaves lots of free time to spend on my laptop all day.

Anyway, now I realize that there are people out there linking to my blog that have never even commented. Or said hello. And now I know who you are. But keep lurking, I don't mind. Or say Hi. I don't bite.

I'm just a little sassy.
